FAQ

The steps to becoming a Cooper are very easy and self-explanatory! The sooner you become a Cooper, the better of course ;-).  

To determine the availability at Cooper, you must first register online on our website. Once you are registered, our Captain Cooper will contact you for a little chat. This conversation will clarify which Cooperhood suits you most closely as a person. Your needs and desires will be very much taken into consideration! 

After an in-depth conversation about the desires of your stay (preference for size, location, etc.), you will receive a mail with some options. After you choose your stay you will be asked to sign the rental agreement online and pay the deposit.

Different kinds of activities are hosted for and by the Coopers. Some activities will be per house, but we definitely encourage group activities with all the Cooper houses! Activities can be anything from an evening at the pub to a nice cozy BBQ in the big Cooper gardens, a movie - or cooking night, etc.

You can always expect a pleasant living room, a well-equipped kitchen, and a laundry room at your disposal. A lot of our properties also feature a movie theater, off the wall coworking spaces, a fitness room, and a beautiful backyard. I mean, wow, who wouldn't want this!

Yes of course, anything to make it as convenient as possible for our residents. No time to clean? You can request an additional service to clean your private room. Reminder: This service is not part of the monthly rent.

Yes, we have a Cooper app! The purpose of our app is to make life even more convenient for you. The Cooper app will provide many facilities such as; an overview of upcoming events, general information about your stay, a recycling calendar, and much more. Additionally, it will be your main way to communicate with both the other Coopers, as well as Lies (our Captain Cooper) and the Cooper support. The new way of living… Everything in one place, it doesn't get any easier! All for you!

Step by step to a more sustainable life! Cooper is part of the change. All Cooper homes have been renovated to a futureproof 2050 A label house. Energy label A is the green label that can be assigned to a house. This means that the house is energy-efficient and therefore, of course sustainable. As a result, Cooper meets many points on sustainability, for example, solar panels, extreme insulation, 3 triple glazing, reuse of rainwater, etc. In addition, we give a lot of furniture a second life!

Of course! We are very willing to accept visitors, but please keep in mind that guests cannot be a hassle for your fellow residents. Visitors can stay for a maximum period of 5 days a month with the approval of your co-residents.

Cooper provides the flexibility for two individuals to share a room in certain houses. However, it is important to note that the availability of options specifically tailored for couples is limited. If you choose a two-person room, a supplement of €250 will be charged.

Remember! There are special rooms for couples. Single rooms cannot be used for couples. In that case, a surcharge may be applied (€300).

Cooperhopping? Sure, but only on one condition: there has to be a spot available. If you already live in a Cooper house and would like to move to another, you will be given priority.
